ABC Family, which will soon be Freeform in January, has ordered a new show. It’s a horror show and comes from the creators of Once Upon A Time. This is exciting news, because you know how much we love that show around here!

The show, which is called, Dead of Summer, comes from Once creators Adam Horowitz & Edward Kitsis, as well as writer Ian Golbdberg.

Here's the press release -

FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT ABC FAMILY IS BECOMING FREEFORM, NETWORK GIVES A STRAIGHT-TO-SERIES ORDER BASED ON A MULTIPLE-SCRIPT COMMITMENT TO“DEAD OF SUMMER,” A HORROR TALEWRITTEN AND EXECUTIVE-PRODUCED BYADAM HOROWITZ, EDWARD KITSIS AND IAN GOLDBERG

Burbank, CA (November 18, 2015) – ABC Family continues to grow the original-programming slate that will premiere under the new Freeform banner in 2016. Network has given a straight-to-series order based on a multiple-script commitment and penalty to horror tale “Dead of Summer” from the dream team of Adam Horowitz & Edward Kitsis, along with “Once Upon a Time” writer Ian Goldberg. It was announced today by Karey Burke, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development, ABC Family. ABC Family is becoming Freeform in January 2016.

“’Dead of Summer’ is about what happens when summer camp goes wrong – really, really wrong. The horror genre is new for us and I’m thrilled to have Adam, Eddy and Ian bring their immeasurable talent to our network and usher us into this new space,” said Burke.

Set in the late 1980s, school is out for the summer, and a sun-drenched season of firsts beckons the counselors at Camp Clearwater, a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp, including first loves, first kisses – and first kills. Clearwater’s dark, ancient mythology awakens, and what was supposed to be a summer of fun soon turns into one of unforgettable scares and evil at every turn. Part coming-of-age story, part supernatural horror story, “Dead of Summer” is a bold, new series that mixes genres as it examines the light and dark of a summer like no other.

“Dead of Summer” will be produced by ABC Signature Studios and Kitsis/Horowitz. Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis (“Lost,” “Once Upon A Time”) and Ian Goldberg (“Once Upon a Time,” “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior”) will write and executive-produce the series.

I work a lot. Fangirlish is my baby. I work in social media professionally and I love it - which is probably why I don't keep up on my own. I don't sleep enough and I obsess too much over my favorite things. I need to work on combing my hair more. Or at elast I need to stop dying it different colors.
